I'm so not looking forward to the time when my 6 eventually starts to make that particular rattle. Not trusting myself to be able to split and rejoin a camchain, it'll be split-the-cases time... eugh.

(gets out checklist for tomorrow's spannering episode)
(scribbles "check camchain tensioner" on it)
Have I mentioned I'm the most paranoid home mechanic in the Southern Hemisphere?
re: who's got the most mileage??
Nope - Cam chain is still original. Apart from your normal chain, sprokets, brakes, shimms, etc I did have to replace my steering head bearings ( due to too many 'accidental' wheelies).
Castrol Synthetic 4 stroke.. umm think it is called XT is what I have always used.
I was also told to run one unleaded fuel tank to 4 premium tanks. Apparently it cleans the bikes spark plugs etc up.
Plus I kiss and tuck my bike in every night, it's the love and care.... isn't it? lol
<feeling like a weirdo>

Re: re: who's got the most mileage??
wasn't an old german guy was it? i remember meeting an old german guy who'd travelled across the world with his wife on an old BMW, he's got a book out about it.gco0307 wrote:Ok, not mine and I do not know the guy that well but I was talking to an old guy at Robertson Pie Shop 2 weekends ago who had an r100rs BMW which he claimed had 452,000 kms on it.
He was the original owner and had full history.
Others who know this guy have no doubt that the mileage is valid.
For what it was worth, the bike was in very good nick although the same cant be said of the owner (he was about 80 in the shade).

my '99 zx6r has done 87,000 kms

Re: re: who's got the most mileage??

re: who's got the most mileage??
